The same reason why one-side hypocrisy is inherent to you, I guess. |

She was still alive when they said that they would block replacing her... "“It’s a prerogative of the Democratic leader to put who he wants on the Judiciary Committee. So I don’t think that’s an issue,” Cornyn said, arguing that it was different when Republicans blocked a temporary swap on the panel earlier this year while Feinstein was absent due to medical leave. “The problem was he was willing to try to do that while Sen. Feinstein was still a member of that committee, even though she wasn’t present,” Cornyn said, referring to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “So that’s the unorthodox procedure.” Cornyn said that it’s different now that the seat is vacant." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/republicans-replace-dianne-feinstein-judiciary-committee-rcna118151 |

The Trump tax cuts were passed in 2017, and the rate of inflation fell from 2.13% in 2017 to 1.81% in 2019. Every income bracket saw a tax break under the TJCA. The lower income brackets saw the largest reductions. The top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%. The dems controlled the Executive and Legislative branches for two years, yet despite Biden's promise to repeal TJCA, they didn't even try. They know it is sound policy and they would have wrecked the economy if they repealed it. We'll see if they let it sunset next year. Instead, they passed Biden's Build Back Better Act, which cut taxes for two-thirds of households making over $1 million a year. The biggest tax breaks under Biden's BBB are going to the higher income brackets. 'According to TPC, two-thirds of households making over $1 million per year would receive a tax cut under the Build Back Better Act. More than three-quarters of households earning between $500,000 and $1 million would also receive a tax cut, as would two-thirds of those earning between $200,000 and $500,000.' |
